Yall making up topics. Dude plays about 22 min of 40 min game. Its like yall waiting for them to collapse instead of focusing on the success they been having.
Bro look at who they have on here 😂 no wonder there's no topics who are these people even like did they grab them from just around the office hahaha these 3 are a hard listen
What’s ironic is that the LAL did plan to “reduce” LBJs usage and BECAUSE they did that by taking him off PG (where LAL won the chip and he led league in assists) they brought in others to facilitate and it’s backfired. LBJ is working even more than ever. He’d arguable be working much less and roles would be much more defined if he just played PG.
Tabums minutes are the concern If he plays more than 5-8 min, it could ruin our chances.. Starting or coming off the bench, he simply doesnt fit on this team
@@mr.anderson3694 He just got carried to a Bus Rider chip by his Daddy JB lol If anything, hes an empty stat padding ballhog. Not even a top 10 player in the league.. Barely top 15
Yeah what a joke sports media is. Making something out of nothing. The first woman is right, they are bored so they debating about which superstar should start as if it’s going to make that much of a difference
This backup group in first take just indirectly called out the regulars for the whole kerr criticism and Tatum takes. Finally! She was the only person on ESPN to call this topic nonsense and just talked about cause everyone seems bored. This group is at least more real then molly, Stephen A, and Brian W
Y’all saying it’s not a big deal but when you’re the oldest player playing the most minutes it’s kind of ridiculous. Compare to a 48 minutes game it doesn’t look too bad but the idea that Lebron is playing the most if kind of and indictment on the rest of team USA
John S was the best PG on the 1992 and he barely played due to an injury. Team stack with stars and they still blew everybody out. The issue is the ball not moving and these players aren't effective off ball. We have the best group of nba players and steve kerr allowing the offense to run thru lebron lmao
The Olympics keeps players in shape. The lakers lost in 5 games in the first round it’s not like they are Tatum and the Celtics who had played till the very end of the season, they had rest time
Speaking of Equality: Women in Sport, why are we still stuck in the 50s, 60s, 70s, it is 2024 and we love to watch women play sports, we encourage our daughters to play sports, it is time we stand up and pay the Women in Sport and sporting entertainment as the men get paid, no more low balling, mano e mano, ESPN, NFL Network, TSN, Sportsnet ,ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, The Women are just as Knowledgeable or more than the men, asking the questions that should be asked and go that extra mile just because.
She really said holiday didn't play... he was hurt, not the same. You can tell the poor preparation and little input these people give. I standby not having this show if you don't have at least 1 of the main people.
If LeBron plays too many minutes, it's bad for him and the Lakers If LeBron doesn't play enough minutes, it's bad for him and team USA If LeBron doesn't play at all, it's bad for him and team USA It's such a waste of time to bring that topic up because no matter what he does for team USA the media will always find a way to scrutinize it for no good reason
Also while everybody keeps saying Steve Kerr as if he’s making those decisions without the help of other Fame Coaches! So they all made these decisions
Bron and Ad will he injury prone this season, mark my words and it’ll only be because they didn’t take the time off to work on their bodies this summer 💯
I'm just sayin ESPN.if you guys are not getting Stephen a back. Get ochochinco or someone polarizing. I'm only here for molly right now. These guys are the boring
I don't understand why everybody is concerned about LeBron's minutes, he's the one to decide to keep playing, he's not even that old, if LeBron's going to have minutes cut, he should not even be in the NBA or playing in the olympics.
This dude said lebron is still the best player on the lakers. Ad was all nba player. all defensive 1st team. Averaged a double double and dominated denver in the playoffs.
They've brought the "D team" to first take..😂
😂
Welcome to the NBA offseason
I think it’s more like J or L team. These mfrs are way down the totem pole.

First Take is just garbage.

Ya meanwhile he plays 35 mins every night in the nba 😂 I don’t get these people man
We need to have one of KD and LeBron in at all times to manage the game.
Agreed
Thats pretty much what they do, like last night KD and LeBron were never off the court at the same time I believe
@@Asterisk-hj4lx That’s correct..can’t have 2 legends off the court at the same time. Real talk
Talk about their 8-0 record focus on how they been winning
It’s the media they gotta find a problem somewhere
They did, multiple times
You know they only like negative stuff 😂
@@tigerhoods7927 esp for bron. demolition job since day 1
Looks like we got the “G team” for the time being…
Yeah who are these people smh they give a check to anybody
6 mins of my life i won't get back.
You wouldn't have been doing anything productive anyways 😂

LeBron is the light for USA without him they would be worse
😂😂😂
He is the worst player on the team
@@robertw174Tabum is BY FAR the worst player on the team
Y’all said that last Olympic kd brung home gold they don’t need lebron
The other players on the team think they need LeBron, that's all that matters
Tabums minutes are the concern
If he plays more than 5-8 min, it could ruin our chances.. Starting or coming off the bench, he simply doesnt fit on this team
He just won a championship lol If anything, he's the most qualified person on the court.

@PrinceCortezJones I don't watch Olympic basketball. That's more fixed than wrestling.

Yeah espn been a joke for a while
That’s what they do.
I'd never thought I would say this, but when is Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A Smith coming back?!?!😂
SAS knows what he is doing putting this group together knowing the ratings will drop … basically making a point to get his 25 million a year contract
Let Mike Brown sit Caitlin Clark and give no minutes. Let Mark Jackson sit Jokic, see how media and ESPN flips out 😢
Shout out to her for saying the obvious it’s a pointless argument and conversation and ESPN is trying to create drama as usual being messy
best lineup is LeBron, Steph, Ant, KD, + whoever at the 5
Now that undisputed is off the air, I am trapped with watching this?
Feels like First Take will follow Undisputed out.
You better off watching thinking basketball
This backup group in first take just indirectly called out the regulars for the whole kerr criticism and Tatum takes. Finally! She was the only person on ESPN to call this topic nonsense and just talked about cause everyone seems bored. This group is at least more real then molly, Stephen A, and Brian W
SAS opposes all of these viewpoints as well
They barely mentioned Jason Tatum
When is the crew coming back?
Can someone share this video with SA Smith?
Nobody is making it a concern except the media
If you know basketball you put the best players on the floor, starting 5 should be Steph, ant man, KD, Lebron and AD
If you play basketball the one starting doesn't matter it's how you finish at and win the game
Y’all saying it’s not a big deal but when you’re the oldest player playing the most minutes it’s kind of ridiculous. Compare to a 48 minutes game it doesn’t look too bad but the idea that Lebron is playing the most if kind of and indictment on the rest of team USA

Jason Tatum should be starting PERIOD‼️

Jrue holiday didn’t play cuz he was injured they literally announced it during the game , meaning yall don’t watch the game
Thank you!!! Finally people making sense
Their takes are shots for SAS. He’s making a big deal out of nothing.
James should be far more focused on being healthy This Year for the Lakers. Same for AD.
The Olympics keeps players in shape. The lakers lost in 5 games in the first round it’s not like they are Tatum and the Celtics who had played till the very end of the season, they had rest time
They’re undefeated!!!!! What is there to critique about?
"u gon stand on business or u gon fold like clean sheets?" 😂
Put Curry in second unit with KD and watch him go for 40

I'm so tired of ESPN trying to bring up controversy LeBron signed up to win a gold medal let the man play.
taking shost at stephen a, ayyyyyyyeee
He had Lebron in the game today after they were up over 20 points and now he’s hurt so was it necessary to have him in still?
first take no way will i watch this without SAS
Jrue didn’t play in the Puerto Rico game cause of injury not cause Kerr decided not to use him
They got the Game Managers on today
Steve Kerr knows Wht He Doin
We have 12 NBA allstars vs teams with maybe 1. We act like were beating teams with equal talent. Were winning gold.
Who is these [fill in the blank]?
They brought the bums and Skidrow Stars in this segment.
You all complain when players don’t play and now you are complaining people are playing too much?
It’s amazing how every person who replaces Molly for a day or two plays their roles better than she does.
Stop criticizing steve kerr! He's doing the best as he can! They are winning!
She really said holiday didn't play... he was hurt, not the same. You can tell the poor preparation and little input these people give. I standby not having this show if you don't have at least 1 of the main people.
Last run for a gold medal??..Nah Bron gonna be 44 and gonna still be available to player at top tier or probably still their best player
Only person i’ve seen questioning Kerr… ironically… Stephen A lol
Who are these people
If LeBron plays too many minutes, it's bad for him and the Lakers
If LeBron doesn't play enough minutes, it's bad for him and team USA
If LeBron doesn't play at all, it's bad for him and team USA
It's such a waste of time to bring that topic up because no matter what he does for team USA the media will always find a way to scrutinize it for no good reason
Also while everybody keeps saying Steve Kerr as if he’s making those decisions without the help of other Fame Coaches! So they all made these decisions
Why are there so many women commentators on ESPN when it comes to NBA?
Should the topics from First Takes’s D Team be a concern‽‽
"Team USA need LeBron like old people need soft shoes" 😂
“WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?”
Where STEVEN A Molly and Shannon ?????
Kawhi Leonard WAS CUT FROM THE TEAM! Get it right 😂
He got elbowed in the face on the game now . I guess all of you won't need to be concerned about minutes he plays🤷
This is show is so much better without SaS and Molly
Jrue didn’t play because he was injured. You would think she would know that talking about it…
These ppl just watch highlights and look at stats before they go live lol
Bron and Ad will he injury prone this season, mark my words and it’ll only be because they didn’t take the time off to work on their bodies this summer 💯
Literally just be finding anything to have a discussion on … do you think his minutes really matter ? With all that talent on the team
How else is he going to get mvp?

Lebron is the only reason I'm watching NBA and the Olympucs basketball
When have minutes ever been a concern for him 😂
No, No, and No. The team is WINNING, SO hush!
This gotta be the Z Team.... 😂😂😂
Dude is a corn ball. Steve Kerr is too for not playing Jason Tatum and playing DEREK WHITE🤬!
This ain’t even the C team, this the replacements refs 😂😂
This is ESPN’s G league.
Anything for the views to go up can’t go one day without talking bout bron 💯
Dude is trying to cosplay Omniman
Who are these folks?😂
Lebron minutes concerns have been a topic for yearsssss! Just give it up and acknowledge he’s not human lol
And who tf is the 1st male talking
Everybody on vacation?
Yes, because LeBron should’ve been out of the game when the Brazil player hit him, he shouldn’t have been in the game during that time
This is 7th take mustachio is back and they got Isaiah Thomas’s long lost brother on
Aaron Rodgers REMAINS the best NFL player in history, and yes, even over Micah Parsons.
As much as a love Lebron and his game, he is NOT the best player on the Lakers from a production standpoint. That would be AS, Bronnys after him
who is 20 straight all nba 😂
@@TakablePond
I only watch the highlights too!!
Where’s Stephen A, Molly and Unc.
This lineup is trash
They need their minutes restricted on this show
Don't forget bronze he won't bronze
When Steph Curry won he wasn't even on the team there's no need too bring up that he won in the nba
Forget about the Olympic games and help Americans out with the disaster of hurricane Debby
Lol talk about unwatchable. Actually makes you miss Molly and Stephen A. yelling
If Lebron was not in the Olympics he would be practicing in the summer, so he would be still be putting mileage on his legs
This dude said lebron is still the best player on the lakers. Ad was all nba player. all defensive 1st team. Averaged a double double and dominated denver in the playoffs.
last I check bron made 20 straight all nba
@@TakablePond what does that have to with being the best player on the Lakers?
But Yall Actin This 82 Game 🎮 Season Lebron Been Off Since April March So He Been Ready Got His Body in Shape Condition Conditioning
Anagram for Lebron James:
'Me Learn Jobs'
Do women sound like they’re freaking out.
Steve Kerr Knows when Lebron Comes Once that 2nd Unit comes In UnLess Theirs A Foul Lebron on Bench or Comes Back On Court
Stephen A thinks its little league. lol
Wen Molly & SAS Stop Showing Up The Views Go Stop
This panel is terrible. The worst I’ve seen on first take
